If you're willing to order online, Tire Rack has a 185/60-16 for a 24.7" tall tire that is a skosh narrower than the 195. It has a AA traction rating and a 240 treadlife rating, suggesting it's a fairly hard compound.

I generally think taller/narrower is the way to go, other factors being equal.

If I'm not mistaken, AA would indicate high traction and a 240 wear rating would indicate relatively low tread life.
